Northborough–Southborough Youth Football & Cheer isn’t just a program — we’re a family.
Northboro/Southboro Youth Football and Cheer Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operated entirely by volunteers.
Our mission is to give every athlete a safe, supportive place to grow through teamwork, discipline, perseverance, accountability, and selflessness. Football and cheer are two of the few youth activities left where kids must dig deep, push for each other, and learn just how much they’re capable of — and that carries with them far beyond the field.
We stand behind our athletes and their families year-round. On and off the field, we build confidence, character, and a community that truly cares. That’s what it means to be a T-Hawk.

Flex Program - Pre-Tackle Development
Flex Football is an exciting, limited-contact format designed for young athletes in grade K-3 to develop fundamental football skills in a safe, structured, and competitive environment. This program is ideal for players who want more than flag football but aren't quite ready for full-contact tackle football.
With an emphasis on skill development, teamwork, and game strategy, Flex Football helps prepare athletes for future tackle play while keeping safety a top priority.
Game Play & Structure
- Team Size: 9-on-9 format with linemen, skill positions, and blocking
- Equipment: Players wear a soft-shell helmet and soft-shell shoulder pads, provided by the league
T-Hawks Cheer D6 - D14
T-Hawks Cheer is one of the strongest and most respected youth cheer programs in Central Massachusetts — consistently qualifying for Regionals, States, and earning the opportunity to compete on the national stage in Florida. We welcome athletes from beginner to advanced, and all teams from 8U–14U compete on the National Track in a safe, structured environment built on proper technique, teamwork, and performance excellence.
Beyond the routines and the competitions, our athletes learn leadership, perseverance, accountability, sportsmanship, and academic responsibility — qualities that build confidence on the mat and character off it. From local showcases to regional and national championships, T-Hawks Cheer offers real opportunities for growth, achievement, and community pride.
Youth Tackle Program 9U-14U
T-Hawks Tackle is built around one goal: developing young athletes in a safe, supportive, and structured environment. We teach the fundamentals the right way — technique, confidence, and football IQ — while making the experience positive and meaningful for every player, regardless of where they start.
Our coaches focus on more than the X’s and O’s. Your child will learn teamwork, discipline, perseverance, selflessness, and accountability — qualities that shape them not just as players, but as people.
T-Hawks Tackle builds character, leadership, and a true sense of community and family.
